I don’t understand the point of starting a 24 year old guy in Low-A. Is he even going to be tested in Low-A? If they don’t believe he can do it at a higher level, cut him and bring someone in who you may be able to develop. Seems like a waste of a roster spot. By the way, how the hell could a pitcher go through a whole year and only give up three earned runs runs?

That first Charleston game should read “5-4 win over Rome”

My bad, it’s fixed. Thanks.

smoking pot before doing a show is a bad idea ;)

It’s actually a great idea, just not when it’s laced with ecstasy and crack

Imagine how this farm system will be ranked at the end of the year if both Betances and Heredia have big years. Could there actually be a debate between us and Tampa?

I guess those pointing to Suttle’s demise were premature. We tend to get too low (and too high) over a small sample size.

Wow Gardner smacked a his second hr in a week or so…..the other was in spring training , I believe?…has he been hitting on Canseco’s new lady , ;-)

Suttle was mentioned as one of the best hitters in the draft. If his swing changes start to take hold and he rises to his potential, the Charleston offense will be unbelieveable.
What is great is that the farm is stacked in positions that are hard to obtain elsewhere: catcher, starting pitcher, relief pitcher.
The progression is incredible. We have had the first wave of SP hit the bigs, with some more on the way. This year will be the wave of rp – Melancon, Cox, Sanchez, etc. In a year or two we will have the position players – Tabata, Jackson, Gardner, Curtis, Almonte, Montero, etc, etc.

Gotta like Suttle so far. Hoover’s stats are something I think we’ve all been hoping for. The amazing Justin Snyder seems to be picking up right where he left off. And even Vech is off to a good start so far.
